2 questions 1 will this give the light ring in people's eyes in photos? 1aHow far away will it do that? 2 Does it work well with video? Or just pics

I should give the ring light look. Haven't used it for that. Since it stays on constantly, it should be fine for video. But, for video you may want to buy the flat panel and attach it to a tripod or light stand or on-camera.

I don`t recommend you this LED ring for Filming because, it is not too powerful .... I bought this for photography

You will not see a "flash" like you have with a normal camera.....you will be able to see the flash light up with a bright red face......maybe if you elevate it above normal eye level you will avoid them seeing it.

Hi Dennis, Low-light scenarios is a general issue with personal video cameras. Simply put, you can not expect the same video quality for low light conditions as for sunshine day recordings. I have Canons HF11 and am actually quite impressed how good the quality of the low light sensitivity became nowadays (I am recording fireworks). Under which conditions are you taking a video, whats the object ?

Yes it's amazing for filming. I do beauty videos on YouTube and its great because you can change the lighting settings for something really bright. It also comes with different ring sizes for different lens. The only thing is if you do plan on getting it hold the on off for 3 to 5 sec. I was going to return mines because I thought it was broken. For me its a much better alternative then buying a $200 ring light that can wash you out . Hope this helps :)

Depends on the type of photo you're looking to shoot. It's a fairly slow film so most likely you'll be shooting long exposures. If that is what you are wanting to do then yea this film performs fairly well in lowlight having relatively few problems with mixed light sources and very little need for reciprocity correction.

If you are taking stills I would not use this. It is great for doing interviews with a video camera though - it give a good 6-8 feet of light for videotaping subjects. I have used it to shoot many interviews with bands and it works great for that purpose.

It has a set of adapter rings that screw into the end of the lens just like a filter. The light snaps onto the adapter. Many filters are threaded on both sides so you can stack multiple filters. As long as your filter is threaded on both sides it will work. But I would recommend removing any filters while using this light anyways. When you are that close in with light so close to the camera axis, the potential for lens flare is pretty great. Filters magnify this effect. In fact, I always advise people to stay away from "protective filters" for a variety of reasons but that's another topic entirely.

yes, I've used it to photograph several watches and rings, it does a great job. Jewelry is tricky and the hardest part is to get the lighting just right... bright enough, yet soft enough... a good contrasting background helps tremendously as well

It is continuous. It's a little fussy, though. In a pinch, it could be used for video but it wouldn't be my first choice. I'm a photographer and I love the ring light but I use it for one specific type of shot. It isn't my go-to light. I recently bought a Westcott Spiderlite continuous lighting kit. I'm reasonably happy with the lights. They are pretty high-key which is what I was looking for. They are not cheap but, unfortunately, good lighting isn't.

It's pretty bright, but 20 feet would be *really* pushing it, I think. Of course, it depends on what kind of camera you're using, and how good it is at high ISO. From that far back, though, the light will also be pretty concentrated, perhaps not all that much different than a flash, in terms of shadows and such. Bottom line, I don't think this would do what you need it to.

For low light it will do for sure. I do beluce for sone action too, but not to much. Photographing groups pf friend together i had no problems lime "phantons" ir shades of people moving. It is not a pro camera but a long step from regular ines. If you know how to operate in manual yoy will be able to do it.My experience is only on automatic mode.

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)

It works pretty good not all the time. You have to be close to your subject to pick up the eye. If the eye is not picked up it will put a box around the head and keep the face in focus. works well. This camera is fantastic!!!

It would depend on the amount of light available and distance to the subject. In dim light conditions the camera has trouble focusing and video is not that sharp. I used it once during a new year's eve party and I did not like the result. I use this camera on very good light conditions only.

This is a very delicate question...the answer is...DEPENDS...on what you pretend to do and your expectations...But for me it is much more than expected for the price. Color rendering is accurate and does't varies with the power. In average you can use it about 10 ft from the subject depending on your setting...for me it work flawless!!!

Hi Joel, i re-read what other people say about this cam..pls read Vance Marshall's comments too, it sums up what poorly it does. the touch screen is not as responsive. it doesn't function in indoor low lighting..its program robot kept focusing in low light, in fact won't do the job afterall. i didnt return this cuz the hassle of returning + it's only a hundred bux..i tried it in well lit indoor, the resulting photo was grainy. i know what im talking about cuz i also own a D-90..this is only CUTE AND TINY..is all..not for a real photographer..i bought another coolpix before = S3000 cuz of Ashton Kutcher commercial..that sucked too! i gave it away..the only reason i kept buying Nikon is bc the big dslr's are good..aside from D90 i have a d5100.. this sounds ridiculous telling i have cameras..i am just comparing the cool pix to dslrs..hope this helps!
